CP, Ceruloplasmin Serum

The Purpose of a Ceruloplasmin Test

Your body needs copper for bone strength, energy production, and more. That’s why you need to produce enough ceruloplasmin in the liver, which ensures that you get an adequate distribution of copper throughout your body. The ceruloplasmin test may be used if you have a chronic liver condition that affects production of this protein, such as cirrhosis and chronic active hepatitis. This test is also used along with a serum copper level to aid in the diagnosis of Wilson disease and other clinical conditions that are associated with a copper deficiency or excess, which might raise your risk of liver, kidney, or nervous system damage.

What Does the Serum Ceruloplasmin Test Measure?

The ceruloplasmin lab test measures the level of this protein in your body. This test may be taken on its own or in conjunction with other liver or copper tests.

Who Should Take a Ceruloplasmin Lab Test?

You may need testing for ceruloplasmin if you have liver disease or are suffering symptoms associated with Wilson’s disease, including jaundice, nausea, stomach pain, anemia, and difficulty speaking and swallowing, among others.

Serum Ceruloplasmin Blood Test Preparation

There’s no need to take any special precautions before taking the test for ceruloplasmin.

Ceruloplasmin Blood Test Results

Your results should fall between 20 and 35 mg/dL. Low levels could mean you have Wilson’s disease or another liver condition that interferes with your copper absorption. High levels may be caused by increased estrogen levels (e.g., pregnancy or birth control pills), cirrhosis, or leukemia, among other medical conditions.
